NOW, I’m geeking out. Being a huge Predator fan, I cling on to any and all news about the upcoming film. We learned yesterday that Danny Trejo had joined the Robert Rodriguez production prequel called Predators. So, this morning I see that the plot has been circulating and, not only that, but we find out Trejo’s Role!

According to a script review by Latino Review, the lead character is named Royce. Royce is under the surveillance of a Predator. He is snatched up and taken to the jungles of the Predator’s home world along with seven others. These aren’t your ordinary people being abducted. These eight are the most highly noted killers on the face of the Earth.

Danny Trejo is said to be playing a drug cartel named Cuchillo with double Uzis he straps to his back. Other characters include a Russian with a rotary machine gun, a French woman named Isabelle with a sniper rifle, Stans, a prisoner from San Quentin, Mombasa, an African leader in the Sierra Leone squad, a Japanese yakuza enforcer named Hanzo and a FBI wanted criminal named Edwin. There is no world who Royce is – but from the description of him just killing someone and then being abducted, I image he is some kind of serial killer?

This really sounds exciting and promising. I hope Vacancy director Nimrod Antal doesn’t live up to his first name and can actually pull it off unlike so many other failed attempts to make the Predator once again the king of the jungle. Predators will hit theaters July 7, 2010!
